Missing Identity (Series)
DESCRIPTION
All images have one thing in common: people everywhere are consciously or suggestively present in one way or another, but they are always as good as (individually) unrecognisable. You therefore only get to see an object related to a person, a fragment, a contour, or a shadow of a figure, in any case, a person without a clear face and any form of eye contact.What is going on? On the one hand, modern people are becoming oversaturated via social media with intrusive images that change very quickly, mainly to reassure each other or to show how fantastic or how horrific it is... On the other hand, people do not want an intrusive portrait; it only remains with a 'selfie' or a 'tik tok' 'reel. One constantly switches between 'hiding oneself' and putting oneself in the spotlight… No real or perceived identity is fixed, but the viewer can ask questions, invent a story, give it an identity, and reflect on one's identity. Images are not reality, they are a gateway to reality, neither more nor less.
